Dearest Boy update

This is my interpretation of our current block. These are supposed to be trees, but I preferred to make circles for the trees instead. I tried to make the trees as shown, but could not make them fit within the block very well, so...I improvised! I very much like this block!! I appliqued a circle in the middle in the tree trunks, instead of each individual trunk, and I really like the way it turned out. It is not trimmed yet.

Hi Julie! I'm thinking of rejoining the world of blogging. Maybe. Seems I have some things to say. At any rate, I love weeing your progress of your Dearest Boy quilt. I was wondering how important is the fabric selection? Did you start off with a pile that you plan to draw from or are you just winging it, hoping it will all come together in the end? I have a Dear Jane pattern I've been contemplating, but not sure where to start with colors. You know me- no matchy-matchy. But I also don't want to sew on a quilt for the rest of my natural life and not like it! lol. Thanks! Nines
